The Intellian ESA user terminal achieved the maximum download and upload speeds supported by the OneWeb system in full duplex mode operation, with seamless beam hand-overs and satellite hand-overs.
This milestone validates Intellian’s innovative core technologies ahead of production in Q4 2023. Intellian’s ESA user terminal production will take place at their state-of-the-art factory, providing a streamlined process with exceptional product value, quality, diversity, and scalability.
The highly specialised and experienced team at Intellian helped to deliver and deploy the very first OneWeb commercial service user terminals at a rapid speed.
Innovative technology
With a unique and innovative technology and strategy, Intellian brings to market a diverse portfolio of ESA user terminals designed to address user requirements across Enterprise, Land Mobility, Military, Government, and Maritime at unparalleled speed.
Eric Sung, President and CEO Intellian Technologies Inc, said: "Our strategic partnership with OneWeb has been further strengthened as we once again achieve another fantastic milestone together. This over-the-air demonstration validates the strength of our ESA technology and brings us one step closer to launching truly integrated products that all of OneWeb’s commercial customers can benefit from. With our new manufacturing campus also launched in Korea during 2022, we can deliver incredible scale and quality assurance to our partners."
Future potential
Massi Ladovaz, Chief Technology Officer at OneWeb, stated: “Our partnership and collaboration with Intellian continues to grow, and we are excited about the future potential of today’s demonstration. OneWeb’s network is ideal for flat panel user terminals and this has the potential to provide customers with unique benefits that match their connectivity needs. The technology is well suited for residential, government and commercial markets, land-based industries, helping to achieve OneWeb’s ambition to bring low-latency, high-speed connectivity to our customers globally.”
